Butterfly Ginkgo Canister - Med
The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of gingko tree, the Gingko Biloba, or "Butterfly Gingko", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
